Symptoms of Withdrawal: A Memoir of Snapshots and… par Christopher Kennedy Lawford
NA
Chistopher Lawford is the son of the actor, Peter Lawfod and the sister of President Kennedy. This is the story of the first 50ish years of his life. It is both interesting and well told.
I wish I had read this a long time ago. It helped me understand what goes on in a relationship affected by addiction. If I had been armed with this kind of information in the midst of trying to figure out how to respond to things, maybe I would have known how to be in a relationship effectively while my partner was recovering. I could have recovered more effectively too.
A lot was lost because of the excessive name dropping, but a great example for those who think that substance abuse is not hereditary in the least.
